Made Ground: An AIC Scheme-funded Project

Video

Made Ground is a collaboration between artists Eva Richardson McCrea, Frank Sweeney and the Dublin Dockworkers Preservation Society (DDWPS). Taking the DDWPS online archive of over 3,500 photographs as its starting point, the work draws on a range of source material including interviews, institutional and personal archives, documents and original footage. The two channel video work considers the movement from manual to knowledge based forms of labour in the Docklands, the changing architecture of the area and the impact of these changes on the surrounding communities

Video by John Beattie

Hina Khan was the inaugural recipient of the Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios Residency for an Artist from an ethnic minority background.

Hina’s work is the constant search for the best way to interpret ideas and express ideologies through symbolism.  Using a mixture of traditional and innovative techniques, Hina’s work portrays social issues, immigration and humanitarian crisis like prostitution, gender discrimination, restrictions, trauma, child abuse and killing. This residency provided Hina space to work with freedom, enhancing her capabilities as an artist and provided an opportunity to develop her collaborative arts practice further, while immersing herself in contemporary Irish art practice.
